Fluorite (ex Paul Zerfass Collection)

Item Description

A wonderful Fluorite cabinet display specimen from the recent finds in Erongo. The beautiful, sharp, well-formed, multi-colored Fluorite cubes have green centers, with transitioning blue and purple zoning / "phantoms". These were once common on the market, and hard to find now. The largest crystal measures 1.3 cm, and most of them are incredibly gemmy. Very worthwhile for any collector of Fluorite or Erongo minerals. Valued at $2400. From the collection of the long time, beloved, well-known French field collector, Paul Zerfass. Zerfass built this worldwide collection over nearly 50 years, many of which were personally collected. A biography featuring specimens from his collection (along with his face on the cover) is in the May - June 2017 issue of French mineral magazine, Le Regne Mineral. We have a .pdf copy of the article for anybody interested in reading it (though it's mostly in French). Just drop us a line and know that you'd like to have a copy.
